Murray in 5

Murray was generally expected to win and he did. In the condition he is in, the way he plays and the slow courts, anything other than a win would have been a disaster for a player in his prime against a man quite past his now.

Murray played incredibly well last night. .... Truly amazing! He also just wasn't missing at all from the back of the court. He could rally all day long and never miss.

He did play well but once thing he didn't do is hit forehands down the line or inside-in even when they were on for most of the match. He hit one epic inside-in forehand but apart from that the well was pretty dry for both of those shots.

He was notably improved in this regards last year - I assume Lendl's influence - and without getting into the groove of hitting them he'll never be truly great - he is simply too predictable off his forehand wing during normal rally situations when he wont hit down the line with confidence. Federer was probably counting his lucky stars last night that Murray lacked those shots most of the time - it allowed him to stay with Murray more than he deserved for much of the match.

Absolute rubbish. Agassi was ailed by that condition it wasn't for just one tournament that's hogwash, he was playing way more hurt than what Federer is now.

Are you thick? I said Agassi pushing Roger like that was but one tournament. Not that his condition was limited to one tournament. Like I said, stop talking, you'll only make a fool out of yourself even more.

Agassi gave him quite a scare at both 04US and 05US Open even though he was coming off a string of 5 setters.

Agassi was an all-time great. He had less mileage overall. His condition is something he always had. He played through it for a long time so if he could win then why can't he have it and still push Fed? It's like Nadal's knees. If he plays through it, he's good enough to go on.

THat's because there is no point, it doesn't exist.

Just because you cannot comprehend something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

To even think that Federer's previous matches from 1998- say around 2007 have any bearing on him is ridiculous fantasy excuse created by ****s such as yourself.

People living in glass houses should not throw stones, lol.

BTW about Fed hitting straight to opponents when he has an open court, go watch the match against Murray again. Watch the second set where Murray is serving at 15-0. Then watch Fed send a FH straight at Murray. Then go watch the fifth set and watch Fed hit an overhead smash straight at Murray. Then stfu.

The ONLY one who needs to STFU here is you. Federer doesn't aim for the opponent's head and then not even apologise like Murray. Shut your trap already. You're literally grasping at straws. Sending a shot in the opponent's direction is NOT THE SAME is aiming shots AT a players body. Federer had to literally duck to avoid Andy's shot hitting him and he barely missed it despite the fact that Andy had an easy pass. Stop making a royal fool out of yourself and SHUT UP for once.

Its funny how people (Cahill for example) say Federer is playing better than he's played for 7 years, yet as soon as he loses he's suddenly 'not clicking'. Gee, maybe it has something to do with the opponent....maybe.....its not like Federer has ever been dominant vs Murray outside of the slams. It was only a matter of time before Murray's slam level matched his non-slam level and Federer suffered the consequences.

Nadal is still suspended, and your right hand is still working full time over his pictures on Google.

How do you see this one going mate? (I know how you want it to go) I think it really could go either way but that Murray has a great shot I don't think Feds
Five setter will be a big factor as it wasn't that long a match!
